Yeah, I see that too.

This morning I read a story about how the sting went down. Very clever
impersonating that FARC official on the phone. Now, I can't find that
story. I don't remember what paper it was. I linked to it through the
default page at news.google.ca It's not there anymore.

Now all the stories I see are suggesting that the ransom was paid.
Something funny going on. Must be a conspiracy.
